New ways to make money

GDevelop general Feature requests
1

I’ve created three games, but I miss having other ways to make money so I can post on GDvelop hoping to earn a profit.

GDevelop offers ad-based monetization. I have just one suggestion for this feature:

  1. Advertisers pay GDevelop and follow specific rules regarding which ads they can post
  2. The game developer enables the ad option (optional)
  3. Ads appear as rewarded videos, banners, or between scene changes (nothing intrusive)
  4. The gamedeveloper earns a share from full views through PayPal without needing Admob and posting in other stores.

Summary: monetization done by GDvelop itself without us having to set up Admob and look for a store to post our games (mainly dealing with the bureaucratic steps of stores, like the PlayStore).

There are other features I’d like to see added as well, such as optional or fixed pricing, similar to Itch.io.

This is currently a hot topic, I can agree. 4ian said in July 2024 that the banner ads were coming and he announced that they would roll out more advertising in the future. We already have banner ads and before-game ads, he said they would add interstitial ads and rewarded video ads. We will just have to wait for now.
